New Haven, Conn. Dec 31/1925
Thursday
Got up and before having breakfast packed
up the two suite cases, and then to the club for
cornmeal toast and coffee. Got $2.50 and
then the railroad ticket to Austin, Texas with
sleeping service to New Orleans; cost $82 1/2
Set to Pierrody Avenue by 10:30 and found
here Ruudemann, Seldring and Bucher. At
12.15 P.M. Clinton took me in his Ford to
my rooms, and then to the railway, where I checked
the large suite case.
The train was 15 minutes late so I got started
at 1:10 P.M. The day is fine and sunny. At the
depot I again met Ruudemann and Seldring.
On Hell Gate bridge into Brooklyn we had a
great view of the gate, New York City and East
River.
Retired early, about 8.30 just as we were getting
into Baltimore.
